    The Neuroscience of Dog Training- Kathy Murphy

    Thank you for posting this Beanwood. I found it very interesting especially the last half hour when she talked about how the brain chemistry can change.

    Allelomimetic behaviour

    Something that I came across the other day in a Facebook post and have not heard the term used before. Do any of you use this in your training? Definition from Wikipedia Description Allelomimetic behavior or allomimetic behavior is a range of activities in which the performance of a behavior...

    Pickle and storm Dennis

    Well, she went to bed in the conservatory happily last night so it just must have been the storm that frightened her. I’m so fascinated that she wasn’t showing any obvious signs of distress, lip licking, yawning etc but was just so very determined that she needed to sleep with us. I think it...

    Pickle and storm Dennis

    We sat watching tv last night with all the dogs, they all went out for a last pee before bed but then Pickle was most unhappy. We have the two older dogs sleeping in the utility room but Pickle sleeps by herself in the conservatory. Our house is on the top of a hill and it was truly wild here...

    Excitment and Hackles

    All three of my dogs have their hackles raised when enthusiastically playing. Bing even growls as well! They have great behaviour around other dogs and on meeting strange dogs will engage for several seconds, if invited, and then move on. I never get to have conversations with other owners as...

    Tuff-E-Nuff - not such a good deal

    I also looked at the website and decided not to order as it wasn’t clear exactly what you would get with your order. It’s naughty I think to run something like that on Black Friday as I feel they are piggy backing on the discounts on other websites. SWMBO recently told me who Tug E Nuff were...

    Wanting to give your puppy away!

    It’s easy. Bingley has a blue collar and Diesel is red (red diesel) and Pickle is the one causing all the trouble. :rofl:

    Wanting to give your puppy away!

    Please god no! Diesel has got really seriously fed up with her and I’m spending so much time sorting out their arguments, it’s like having stroppy teenagers. I know what you mean about the exercise and walking. Today I took each one out individually and it took ages. Bingley won’t train with...

    Wanting to give your puppy away!

    She’s been far more trouble than my last three boys for sure. She is just SO determined. about getting what she wants and counter surfs for stuff. I’ve just come downstairs and found that she had got into the cardboard recycling.

    Wanting to give your puppy away!

    You lot know that I’m joking but I have to tell you that the thought crosses my mind at least once a day at the moment. There are lots of good things about her - she sleeps well being the main one, but when she’s awake OMG she’s fast and she’s trouble.

    House training woes

    This is making me feel better. I’ve had three pees tonight after a few good days!!

    House training woes

    I haven’t been on the forum much as I’m finding managing three dogs with very different exercise needs very time consuming. Whilst at home the puppy needs watching almost every minute of the day that she’s not in her pen as she’s been super inventive thinking up trouble to get in to. But...

    Don't worry... she will teach my dog a lesson!

    Sorry you had a crap walk Kate. These days my boys are fairly bombproof and can cope with most things and I don’t have to worry too much about the shenanigans of the general public but since having the puppy I’ve realised just how stupid they can be. I’m quite protective of her as I don’t want...

    Mums to the rescue please! Squeezy re-usable baby food pouches....

    I always have a pouch of natures menu in my pocket to use in those situations. I will quickly rip off a corner and then the dog gets really engrossed in trying to get the food out of the pack. You can squeeze it up with your fingers and I have found this works well, especially if you put...

    Crocopups and sharkadors!

    Thanks. She is a super dog at the moment, though coming from a proper kennel situation the house training is proving to be quite challenging, certainly more whoops than all the other dogs combined. She’s going back to her breeders kennels next week while we have a break with the Diesel and...
